Lvl 65 gnome rogue - ? about mail/plate

Post by whmdad

Lvl 65 gnome rogue and I was wondering if I will ever get to a lvl that will allow me to wear mail or plate? Just curious... I've been hauling this stuff around thinking I might get to a lvl where I can use it.

thx

As a rogue you can only ever wear leather or cloth (not recommended, because stats on cloth gear are designed for spellcasters). Warriors, Paladins and Death Knights use plate, and Hunters and Shamans use mail.

If the mail/plate gear says "binds when equipped" you can sell it or send to another character such as a new alt (alternate character) you could create on the same server and faction. If it's soulbound gear then you can safely vendor it or disenchant it if you have Enchanting at a high enough level.

While shamans and hunters start with Leather and switch to Mail at level 40, rogues (and druids, monks) use Leather forever.It's an antiquated system that causes gear changes in the middle of levelling, they never bothered to adjust this.

Antiquated? Why is it antiquated? It's just a design choice.

Seems like it would be difficult to sneak around wearing mail or plate.
